<img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/images/green%20bean2.preview.jpg" style="float:right;" />Green is definitely not just a color for beans anymore. We all need to be "green" and take responsibility to care for our wonderful planet. Kids can be just as responsible as parents in this area by doing simple things like turning off the lights when they leave a room, or using both sides of a sheet of paper. Of course using the library is a fantastic way to be green, by using the books and sources we have, instead of buying new ones. There are also some great books at the library to help remind kids of the important part they can play in being green. Check out <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1506663">Sandy's Incredible Shrinking Footprint</a>, <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1393079">Uno's Garden</a>, or <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1065661">The Lorax</a>, which all are fun stories to read and help remind us to take care of our Earth.http://www.cantonpl.org/blog/greenenvironment/green-beings#commentsGreen/EnvironmentKidsTweensAdultsParentsBooksenvironmental awarenessenvironmental protectionGreen booksrecyclingThu, 27 Jan 2011 22:35:27 +0000durbinm23714 at http://www.cantonpl.orgDisneynature's Oceans http://www.cantonpl.org/blog/greenenvironment/disneynatures-oceans
<a href="http://disney.go.com/disneynature/oceans/"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/images/cpl_earth_day_2010.preview.png" style="float:right;" />Oceans</a>, the newest big screen documentary from <a href="http://disney.go.com/disneynature/">Disneynature</a>, will open in theaters — appropriately — on <a href="http://www.earthday.org/">Earth Day</a>, April 22. Using the latest underwater technologies, the film gives viewers an unprecedented look at the mysteries living beneath the seas which cover nearly three quarters of the earth's surface. In addition, for every viewer that sees the film during its opening week (April 22-28), Disneynature will make a contribution to <a href="http://www.nature.org/initiatives/marine/features/art31006.html?src=sp2">The Nature Conservancy</a> to save the world's <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/search/dcoral+reefs">coral reefs</a>. Last year on <strong>Earth Day</strong>, Disneynature released the critically-acclaimed documentary <a href="http://catalog.cantonpl.org/record=b1477009">Earth</a>. In the meantime, check out some of the ocean-themed documentaries available in the Library's collection:
